Rapid Reviews - 24 December 2003 - Part II

Amazing Spider-Man #61/502: I like the cover. The look of joy on the kid's face makes it a happy cover. Artwork could be better, but it's not bad. I like the tailor's name for Spider-Man: "Mister Bug Guy". My hubby wants me to mention that he found Thor's reading material very amusing. A pretty good issue, yeah.

El Cazador #4: Too... much... good... artwork... The pirates are drawn well, but the crews are similar enough that they get confusing during the battle. The artwork is fantastic, as usual. The revelation at the end is rather gruesome, and bodes ill for Captain Sin's future.

Phantom #1: This is a book that my friend is buying, and allowing me to read. I know very little about the Phantom... I know he's called "the ghost who walks" because he is apparently immortal. Apparently, to the folks in his universe. To the readers, though, he's one of a long line of crimefighters. This isn't what I would call a good introduction, but it is an interesting story, with a nifty cliff-hanger. Not bad for the start of a new on-going.

Whew. That's the end.
